haha, I have no idea what sidechaining is, I'll look it up. I actually did put on a reveerb on the piano, but I can see now that it's barely hearable. when I first put on the effect it sounded way to echo-ish.
I can also see what you mean about the basskick, thats actually a mistake. I meant to lower it down in the final production, I was testing how it sounded when I turned it up a bit.
Sidenote, I am absolutely horrible with playing with effects. Thanks for the tips though! very helpfull. I hope to make more in the future and also get much better! :) (watched back by the way)

Reverb and Delay really help (use Reverb 2 and Delay Bank then lower the delay volume a little bit) with Pianos and even melody synths. Plucks usually piss me off if they have a lot of delay.

With Kicks, open up Parametric EQ 2 and make the mid a little quieter, then up the "2" to the first line (should be +3db/+6db iirc?) and the "6" to the right a bit and up a little more than the "2" was at.
That's how I usually make my kicks punchy and have bass. I also suggest downloading VEC-1 pack for a shitload of premade kicks, snares, claps and hats/cymbals. I've ended up using 3xOSC to make my kicks (hella layering, awye) though. I personally say NEVER touch "Fruity Bass Boost" at all ever for kicks.

Very great VSTs to use for pianos and other synths is ReFX Nexus2. I'd stay away from NI Massive since it's actually really a huge CPU eater depending on your computer. With Nexus2 piano presets, they usually already have reverb and delay so it's close to useless to put any of those effects there.

inb4 someone tells me how wrong I am with the EQ shit.

Also holy shit I'm dying of laughter. This is the greatest shit I've ever heard.

It's basically compression in which you copy a drum wave form (like say a kick) and clone it onto another channel, and whenever you have the kick of the cloned channel play, instead of hearing a kick, it is set to quiet down the rest of the track just almost immediately just to get the drums a transient pop

It makes the drums way more audible (especially the snare)

hey man your stuff is starting to sound pretty damn good already, nice build and progression, good use of automation now you just need to start introducing a sick melody and you'll have a very enjoyable track

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
 

@?

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
 

well somewhere its just arps so far, starting right before / after the fadeout slowly introduce a melody, then a counter melody keep building etc.

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
 

I meant "at who?" cause m3t4 also posted something.

I do plan on adding a melody. I might scrap the mix I'm making and use a melody from that, or I could be creative and come up with something.

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
 

cool stuff hero 8)

I might not do much more to this other than eq it and add a diff melody or lead sound
